I've been slacking on my blogging again. This time, I think it's because I honestly haven't been doing much. At least, nothing more than class.
I was pretty productive this weekend, and got my homework done. I even started working on stuff that's due a little later. And then I read a book. Yep. A whole book. It's kind of weird that I find more time to read in graduate school than I did while I was at Ripon. But, it is the first year and I'm really not that involved yet. Plus, there are a lot fewer people for me to hang out with. Not in a really sad way (though I do miss so many people), but more that graduate school has not provided many opportunities to meet people. Hopefully I will :) It's nice that my roommate and I get along so well, as well as one of the other girls from the program.
Natalie and I might be getting a pet. Or two. We went to Petco for a fish, and fell in love with some kittens. Although I'd prefer a dog, a kitten is much more feasible at this point in time. But one would be hard--we do hope to stay together for the next for years, but when we leave for internship...who would the pet go with? So, it might be two. I think kittens would make our apartment much more lively. It's kind of quiet most of the time, which has its benefits...and downsides as well.
So that's where we're at. Natalie and Christine have a presentation this week; I have a presentation next week (60-90 minutes, yay). We're planning on visiting an apple orchard, probably at the beginning of October. I'm hoping to go home for one of my brother's football games sometimes, and I'm also trying to convince my family to come visit me. After being home all summer, it's weird not seeing or talking to them.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will be long days, just because they are busy. But before I know it, it'll be Wednesday again and the week will be halfway over! It's a little disconcerting how fast time can go by. Anyway, I suppose I'm off to read (again!) and then go to bed :)
